Get rid of moderators asking questions. Let both candidates question each other.

Agreed. None of the “moderators” has been anything near moderate whether the stoned Diane Sawyer or blatant Obama whores Scott Pelley, George Stephanopoulos and the pre-arrangement liar called Mount Crowley.

I do not understand how what they now call “debate” came about. All we get now is read out loud talking points. The nonsense on the House and Senate floor is an example. Usually in a debate a person tries persuasive arguments backed by facts.

They only give ammo to the libs and break up the (real) conservative party. Debates are good but look at how many and how long they lasted compared to the Presidential debates.

That comment is what happens when you comment on the title without reading the body of article. As off-topic as it is, I still think it’s a good idea…

As a solution to the actual question in the article, I like this one.

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 00:52:09 +0000http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=243858#comment-2278183Well, we could start by having everyone take a few courses in philosophy, including one or two introductory logic classes. Begin with this little tidbit from Aristotle:

“If the poor, for example, because they are more in number, divide among themselves the property of the rich – is this not unjust? No, by heaven(will be the reply), for the supreme authority justly willed it. But if this is not injustice, pray what is? Again, when in the first division all has been taken, and the majority divide anew the property of the minority, is it not evident, if this goes on, that they will ruin the state? Yet surely, virtue is not the ruin of those who possess her, nor is justice destructive of a state, and therefore this law of confiscation clearly cannot be just. If it were, all the acts of a tyrant must of necessity be just; for he only coerces other men by superior power, just as the multitude coerce the rich.”

1) Get a fair mixture of left-leaning & right-leaning moderators.
Not the monopoly the left-leaning ones we have now, all pretending to be centrist.
